Registration of Births and Deaths Amendment Act to Take Effect on October 1
The Registration of Births and Deaths (Amendment) Act, 2026, will come into force on October 1, tightening rules for delayed registration of births and deaths. Applications filed after one year but within two years require approval from a district or executive magistrate, while those delayed beyond two years need a first-class judicial magistrate's order. The law aims to encourage timely reporting and mandates strict verification before registration proceeds.
